Yeah, lots of neutral fans chiming in saying Taylor (ref) f***ed the match all over the place. I would agree
I like Havertz but he was frustrating today. Just don't think he has it to be expected to be the striker like he has been. Good player otherwise. Wirtz should be a player, young still, 23 for the World Cup and 25 next Euros so entering his prime. I think he'll take the spot. Fullkrug will be aging out soon and Havertz...I'm sure he'll keep playing but won't be getting any better. Musiala was not as great as usual today but also young. Honestly I'm more concerned about their midfield with Kroos out (again) after this tournament. Difficult (impossible) to replace. And they will need to go with a different keeper as Neuer will be done as well. Transition period (again) for Germany, but with some youth on the horizon
I've been down on Havertz in this tournament but he had it going on today. Shame he didn't finish but his setups and build up and runs were good.
Mussiala, yeah didn't get much done but this is the type of player Spain defend well, guys that try to walk the ball into the box. Germany were more dangerous on moving ball. Mussiala too locked in on trying to beat multiple defenders. He wasn't moving ball well.
Amazing really for Germany to find so much to exploit when other sides have trouble scoring against Spain.
This is the list of should've been in back of net:
WirtzX2
FullkrugX2
Havertz
Even Muller got in on the action with a possible shot that could have found net.
All I was hearing on the broadcast was how "Germany hadn't found much" really the commentary and officiating were ruining the game.
Not sure what it is but whenever I watch Gundagon is shit. He was again today passing balls anywhere. Glad to see Sane subbed off so quickly as well. Shouldn't even be on the squad.
What a match from Wirtz though. Too bad he didn't finish 2nd one.
Spain deserved to lose on basis of chances they gave up. As well as the handball.
